Here I am back again with my new post about my last trip to beautiful Antwerp in Belgium. I was traveling with one of my friends from the Erasmus group and we had lots of fun discovering the secrets of this city. We definitely walked a lot, visited two museums in the old city center together with gothic cathedral and street full of fancy shops.

THE CENTRAL TRAIN STATION

ANTWERP

ENTRANCE HALL

This building you will see first, when you arrive by a train to the city

and yet, it stuns you with it’s beauty. Some parts are still historical but the others are already fully renovated with its minimalistic and modern flare. It works very well all together and both these styles are bonded in one mash of interesting silhouettes.

This is definitely very photogenic building. ;)

As we walked I mentioned this H&M window. I have heard about this colaboration with KENZO, however I haven't seen the collection in person yet.

This collection features accesoires and clothes in vibrant colours and patterns which will bring you warm to a upcoming winter season and is actually available online from 3th of November.

STADSFEESTZAAL BIG AND LUXURIOUS SHOPPING MALL

The Cathedral of Our Lady is a Gothis archytecture builded from 1352 until 1521, however it has never been 'compleated'. Well, but I think it is still beautiful anyway. It is also included in the Belfries of Belgium and France entry in the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites

CITY HALL

MODEMUSEUM

RIK WOUTERS

&

THE PRIVATE UTOPIA

"The premise of this exibition is the theme of domestic bliss in the work of the painter Rik Wouters, and the intimate life of comfort, security and belonging that existed between his wife Nel and him. In Belgium, Wouters was the only artist to combine post-impressionistic techniques with smple domestic scenes. His expressive brushstrokes and the unfinished style of the canvasses bring a dynamic in to his work, that together with enphasis on colours and the way in which the light hits the sene, resoults in enchanting and optimistic pieces."
